Heading Home from Karluk, AK

Fishing was fun. Weather was average. It was sunny one day, overcast most days, and it rained a couple too. Overcast is fairly normal in Alaska. We limited out on fish most days, but some days were less than stellar.

I caught 7 different species of fish: coho, sockeye, chum, humpy, halibut, skate, and dolly varden. Some guys caught some steelhead too which was cool.

We also saw grizzlies, bald eagles, golden eagle, fox, mountain goats, some seals and sea lions. Alaska is a wild place. I don't think I could leave here, but fun to visit. Here are some pics of the Aluit village where we stayed and a pic of the 50 caliber handgun that works a little better on bears than the pepper spray (and no, we didn't have to use it).
